Research

Water resources management: The significance of water to human survival is paramount. Thus, household water use, forecasting, water use efficiency, water quality, water distribution network, among others are part of my research endeavours;

Climate change: its causes, impact and mitigation in tropical region, its relationship with household water demand and supply, its awareness in the tropical region, mitigation efforts in urban centres etc

Hydro-climatology: The relationship between climate and water resources, rainfall, especially, spatial variability of rainfall and its environmental implications on water resources, agricultural practices, soil constituents and vegetation are significant to my research interest 

Sustainable environment management: Environmental quality and its sustenance; causes of pollution and its effect on urban livelihood.
